Well What have we been up to lately, you may be asking yourself. Well wonder no more I am about to tell you all the exciting things that are happening with the Pilgrims.
Hmmm... Well I made the kids Halloween costumes and they are super cute if I do say so myself, and I do. Cora is a Bumblebee and Izaac is a Spider. I like to stick to a theme, somewhat. Last year Izaac was a carrot and Cora was a pea pod. Good times!
I tried to take pictures of them but my camera battery is dead and I can't find the charger but hopefully will soon cuz we are heading down to Ashley's soon and need to take pictures of the cousins meeting for the first time EVER! I did take the Kids to Wal-Mart to have their pictures taken there and they are super cute, Well I'm just saying that considering what I had to work with. Izaac hates getting his picture taken especially if it involves getting up on a table and having strangers try and make him smile. for awhile there not even the candy that I brought worked as a bribe but eventually all calmed momentarily and she got a few cute ones. The one I ended up getting the kids are both looking down at the candy packages I brought as a bribe but considering it was Halloween I thought it was appropriate since the Holiday is all about candy!
The kids and I are headed out on our first lonely adventure to visit my sister Ashley next Monday the 19th of October, Ashley is having a baby on the 26th so we wanna get the first look and make everyone back home jealous since they can't see him and have to look instead at all of their babies that they are also having... Hmmm... any way Ashley has c-sections so that makes trip planning very convenient for me not having to worry about her going late or anything. As mentioned above this is the first time that my kids will get to meet their Clifton cousins, well except Madacyn who came to Canada with Ash last summer while we were there but the other three have never met my two so that will be fun. We have never been super close to any family (living distance) so any opportunity to strengthen those bonds is welcomed. I loved growing up with my cousins and I really want that opportunity for my children as well. you may be thinking that perhaps we should move closer then and you would be right although that won't be happening any time soon unfortunately so we have to enjoy the moments when we do get to visit family. It is a 13 h drive so wish me luck traveling with my two "angles" hopefully! They didn't do too bad on the trip here which lasted a week but then again I did have Justices support so we'll see how she goes.
Justice continues to be completely overwhelmed and busy keeping up with dental school. But even though he is insanely busy he kindly takes time for his family and we are ever so glad to see him. Last Sunday we took a random drive to Hartford CT. Yes random I know, It is where Yale is located and it is really cool. They have tonz of really old buildings that look like castles and such and the library is amazing! We didn't stay long because it was getting late and we didn't know Yale was there when we randomly choose that place on the map. We love to go for drives or at least we did in Idaho where you weren't in constant traffic and the roads were free to drive on. It cost us $23.75 in tole's Everything costs money out here so needless to say we won't be making many more drives in the near future, we can't afford it.
Well I suppose that is all that is happening in our neck of the woods not much I know but that is o.k. for us right now. We are just enjoying being here and trying to make new friends, something we have never been good at but practice makes progress right!
Love to all!!
Cora not impressed with the tutu I made her
Izaac painting
Finger painting for FHE
Cora's huge goose egg that she got when I fell rushing for the bus with her in the front pack holding Izaac and a big diaper bag, I tripped and we all went down. Needless to say we are all thankful for the new double stroller that we just got!
